Sonnet Technologies FUS-D4QR5-12TB Overview

Performance and Data SecurityConsidering a multi-drive storage system? If so, you already know about the benefits of striping data across multiple drives-youâ€™ll gain the faster performance necessary for working with HD video formats when you connect the system to an eSATA host controller. Sonnetâ€™s Fusion D400QR5 desktop and Fusion R400QR5 rackmount SATA storage systems deliver speed, reliability, and versatility in easy to deploy packages. Fusion D400QR5 and R400QR5 systems offer security, too-each one features a high performance internal RAID controller that manages the enclosed drives and supports RAID 5 drive formatting, which provides data protection in case one of the drives fails. Available in configurations from 4 to 12TB(1), these Sonnet storage systems incorporate an informative display and status LEDs, and simple to use controls that enable you to easily configure the drives or select information to be displayed.High Performance with Data ProtectionConnected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X host controller installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5 systemâ€™s drives can be accessed at maximum speed(2), whether configured as a RAID 0 or RAID 5 set. With its drives configured as a RAID 5 group (four 1TB drives striped with parity across all group members), a single Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5 system achieves data throughput of 225 MB/sec read and 177 MB/sec write, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, ProRes 422, or a single stream of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video. Do you want even more performance? Up to four Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5 systems can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P controller for enhanced data throughput and multiple timesthe available streams (as well as increasing the number of supported video formats).
